MN SF2201

Clarifies the definition of "employee" under Minnesota's parental leave law (sections 181.940-181.944) to account for school calendars by allowing educational institution employees to meet the 12-month employment requirement either consecutively or non-consecutively.

Changes the employment duration requirement for school employees from "at least 12 consecutive months" to "at least 12 months" immediately preceding a leave request.

Defines "educational institution" as an elementary or secondary school for purposes of this parental leave provision.

Maintains the existing requirement that employees work an average of at least one-half the full-time equivalent hours per week in their job classification during the 12-month period.

Takes effect the day following final enactment.
